[QUOTE="Laetca, post: 233883"] You didn't lose, the other person cheated :P It's been a while since last played, but if I recall correctly the scrabble rules state that a word can be challenged, if you think it's just made up. That just means you look it up in the dictionary, if it's not in it, then it's not considered a scrabble word. This is only when playing the actual board game I believe, not sure what the case would be when playing on line versions. You might want to check the rules of whatever version you were playing. There's an entry on wikipedia for 'vulgo', but only in German and Italian, what I understand is that it's a word derived from Latin, or even just Latin, to denote that a person or term can be also known as something else (by the people/more commonly). One of the examples given: Urinate, vulgo: take a **** Matt, vulgo: Horsey (denotes a nickname) [/QUOTE]
